I've been slacking for the last few days.
My dad and uncles are retired and in town visiting.
A small family reunion.
I'm suprised how well the BBQs have been, everybody is supportive of my vegan lifestyle
But sadly everybody else eats the typical BBQ meals.

The saddest moment was when my 12 year old cousin was served her chicken.
She looked so happy, big eyes, big smile and clapping her hands together.

We walked Phipps Park Saturday morning.
I should have some incredible pictures in the next couple weeks.
We will be making a trip to the Beartooth Pass near Yellowstone Park

Today was chest, shoulder, tricep day.
Workout #5 of the benchpress programNew PB on the bench, I finally broke 200#
The last set of the program calls for a 1/2 rep. (or to failure)
I think it took about 10 seconds, but I got 205# back on the rack.
I didn't try a second rep

Saturday - July 02I tried a Bench, Shoulder and Tricep workout yesterday.
It was horrible workout, I had trouble on the bench 20# less than my 1RM. Shaky arms, barely finished 2 reps.
I couldn't come close to completing the EAS Bench Program Workout so I gave up for the day.
I had been eating Vegan junk food for a couple days. I'll blame it on that.
We went on a trip and I didn't pack my normal good food.
I'll go at this workout again on Monday.
I'm back on fruits, veggies and Vega.

Sunday - July 03Today was Back, Biceps and Forearms
Had a good workout

I don't lift as much weight as most guys here.
But I routinely pick up 120# off the floor for my shrugs
Today a 20-30# carpet shampoo machine took me out.
It's a compact Rug Doctor, a little bigger than a vacuum cleaner.
I picked it up to take it out of my van, and OUCH!
My back is really sore right now, hopefully it won't last too long.
Right in the middle of the back along the spine.

Wednesday - July 5My back is still a little sore, I'll take another rest day.
It doesn't hurt all the time, just if I twist the spine.
Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.
What a stupid way to hurt yourself.

This nagging pain in my left forearm really peaked today.
I think I will need to take it easy for a while on anything involving the arms.
Hopefully it will get better soon, I'm already missing the weights.
I guess this will be a good time to shed some fat.
